Targus EverVu case for iPad Mini

What is it?
The Targus EverVu case for iPad Mini is a lightweight protective shell and ‘infinite viewing stand’ that fits both first generation and the Retina Display iPad Minis.

The thin polycarbonate shell is lined with a soft non-slip material which enables the EverVu to achieve pretty much any viewing angle the user could want. It also folds neatly into a convenient typing position.

Design *****
This case is spot on design-wise. Its super-thin wraparound style clothes the iPad Mini perfectly. Buttons, ports and camera remain easily accessible and there’s a handy stretchy band on one corner that can be flipped over to ensure that the case remains closed, although I find that I don’t really need to use it.

It also has automatic wake/sleep so that my iPad Mini shuts off when the cover is closed. I also like the super-smooth feel of the case.

Easy to use? ****
I am notoriously all fingers and thumbs when it comes to folding and wrapping so I was pleased to find that it really was as easy as claimed to put the Mini into any number of good viewing positions. It took me a while to work out how to flip it into the typing position but when I did finally work it out I found it comfortable to use.

I frequently watch TV on my iPad – on the sofa, in bed, etc – and I find the non-slip interior really effective for keeping the angle of view stable. It’s a big improvement on my existing case – a padded leather affair – and also reduced the weight of my handbag considerably.

Quality? ****
This is a well-made product with a good feel and finish. After a few days’ use I noticed that the front of the case had indentations from the rough and tumble of daily use, but my iPad Mini was well protected, so job done!

Worth the investment? *****
At £20.50 (plus postage) I think the investment is reasonable given the quality, practicality and protection the case provides. All round I was pleased with the simplicity of the design and the accuracy of the fit and this barely-there case is my new favourite.

Overall score **** 4.5

Best for
Anyone who wants a discreet, practical, lightweight case that makes their iPad Mini easy to use, anywhere. A great stocking filler for Christmas for a cool kid.
